I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 72 Xu Zifeng’s talent and King Zhennan’s plan!
Coming out of Yunlu Academy, Feng Wuhen, the fastest swordsman in the imperial capital, walked over.

"Your Highness, has the Imperial Master negotiated?"

This is the academy, presided over by Master Yu, and it is indeed not easy for him to get in given his status.

As Li Xian's confidant, he needed to give Li Xian advice and suggestions.

"Stop talking. That old guy won't release the eagle until he sees the rabbit."

Li Xian felt that his trip was in vain, so he decided to wait until his master arrived in the imperial capital.

Now he needs to hide in the imperial capital, continue to gather information about Li Chen, and slowly make plans.

At the border, the third prince was not idle either. He started to make a risky move.

Because the new emperor Li Chen has declared war on the royal court, the Khan has not responded yet.

However, the troops in the north of the Tiance Dynasty are already being mobilized.

There are many army groups, garrisons, reserve armies, etc. in the north.

Most of them were loyal to the late emperor, that is, the military generals in the court.

It is natural that they will listen to Li Chen's orders now, not to mention that they want to fight more than Li Chen.

Among them were the Queen Mother, the Second Prince, and the Third Prince's people.

But these people could not interfere too much with the northern troops.

It can only provide intelligence and make dispatches when necessary.

This is a hidden card that can only be used once at a critical moment.

The Queen Mother's ambiguous attitude now leaves the Second Prince and the Third Prince confused.

While the Second Prince was gathering support, the Third Prince also started to go crazy.

Since the Northern Royal Court is not that reliable, the Third Prince decided to look for the Prince of Zhennan.

The conflict in the north is escalating. Once a real fight breaks out, the troops in the central part of the Tiance Dynasty will be transferred away, and the pressure on the Prince of Zhennan will be very small.

The Prince of Zhennan had a strong desire to rebel, and many people could see that.

Then the Third Prince simply invited Prince Zhennan to form a team.

Let's rebel together and relieve each other's pressure.

By that time, Li Chen was busy with the war in the north and Li Xian had no military power.

The third prince felt that he might be the first to enter the imperial capital.

As long as he became the emperor and asked the Northern Royal Court to give them some face and give them some land, they would be obedient.

Then he turned the northern army south and directly killed the Prince of Zhennan.

Then wouldn't his throne be safe?

He even solved the problem of Prince Zhennan.

When I think about the fact that history books will definitely record my great achievements in the future, I feel happy.

The third prince couldn't help but smile. He really was the only one who could be the emperor.

The third prince is very conceited when it comes to military combat, and he has extremely high talent.

Of course, he had already forgotten about the fifth brother, Li Ran, in his heart.

When the late emperor was still alive, the young Li Ran captured the third prince alive in a military simulation battle organized by His Majesty.

That memory was a shame that the Third Prince did not want to recall.

He is just a useless person. The Third Prince would never care about such a trivial matter.

In a dark and quiet training room near the imperial capital.

There are abundant cultivation resources here, as well as various rare treasures of great value.

Li Ran, the useless man in the Third Prince's mouth, was sitting upright on a cushion, his whole body shrouded in a thick black air, as if he had merged into the darkness of this world.

Although he was blind, his mind was extremely clear and he was concentrating on practicing a forbidden evil skill that he created.

As Li Ran's breathing became deeper, the energy in his body began to surge wildly, like waves in a strong wind, hitting his body wave after wave.

The black gas seemed to have life, wandering around his body, sometimes condensing into a hideous ghost face, sometimes turning into a sharp black blade, cutting the surrounding air and emitting bursts of shrill screams.

Veins popped up on Li Ran's face and sweat poured down like rain.

Even though blood kept flowing out of the corners of his mouth and eyes, he didn't care at all. Every time he felt pain, he felt his strength growing rapidly.

This is not in the palace, he can boldly speed up his training.

Li Ran knew that he only had this one chance and he had nothing to lose!
After circulating for a few cycles, Li Ran exhaled a breath of foul air.

"Second brother, third brother, just wait for me!"

When he has achieved success in his cultivation, he will definitely turn these two guys into human pigs to relieve the hatred in his heart!

After resting for a while, Li Ran left the secret training room.

Because he promised Li Chen that he would help Li Chen find the "Emperor Dragon Bible".

Li Chen kept his promise and let him leave the palace, so he will definitely fulfill his promise.

To take revenge, he would definitely need Li Chen's help. It would be extremely difficult for him alone to shake the operations of the second and third princes for so many years.

In the southern part of the Tiance Dynasty, there is the Prince of Zhennan’s Palace, which is as magnificent as a small imperial palace.

The King of Zhennan is like a local emperor here, plundering all kinds of resources and creating his own paradise.

As one of the few princes with military power in the Tiance Dynasty, he was not at all restless.

Originally, his duty was to intimidate the southern countries.

He has been doing this all along, and has made the southern countries submit to him.

But as power grows, people begin to become restless.

The birth of Crown Prince Xu Zifeng was undoubtedly the key factor that made him want to rebel.

Xu Zifeng was born with supernatural powers since childhood, and his training speed is several times faster than that of ordinary people.

Moreover, he has great luck and can turn any danger into good fortune.

Despite his young age, his cultivation has already been extremely terrifying, and he is also extremely wise and intelligent.

There is even a hidden powerful man who says that Xu Zifeng has the appearance of a human dragon.

Prince Zhennan was thinking, was this a hint from God that I could take that step?
Anyway, the southern countries have been conquered, and even the leaders of some small countries have surrendered to him.

The Prince of Zhennan's Mansion, also known as the small imperial palace, is home to many beauties robbed from the southern countries.

He would even, on a whim, invite the queens of these small countries to sleep with him.

He really enjoyed the pleasure brought by being a local emperor.

In fact, at this time, Prince Zhennan was still hesitant, because the emperor had not done anything to offend him and even gave him such great power.

The most important thing is that the late emperor and the Prince of Zhennan grew up together, so they have some old feelings for each other.

He really couldn't bring himself to rebel and be despised by the people of the world.

The turning point was that Xu Zifeng was recruited to the imperial capital as a hostage.

Prince Zhennan was thinking in his heart: You forced me to do this!
In fact, the late emperor also had his own considerations.

In the eyes of the late emperor, the Prince of Zhennan had a long history with him and would never rebel.

But after he and Prince Zhennan died, Prince Zhennan's son Xu Zifeng had been an ambitious man since childhood. He once said some disrespectful words in public, such as "The emperor takes turns to sit at my house, this year it's my turn" and so on.

He even brutally beat up members of the royal family in his fiefdom. If he inherited the position of King of Zhennan, he would not be able to sit peacefully in the south.

For the eternal foundation of the Tiance Dynasty, the late emperor made this decision.

He really had no intention of killing Xu Zifeng, he just wanted to put him under house arrest.

The late emperor felt that he was in good health, but the Prince of Zhennan had been on the battlefield for many years and suffered from many illnesses.

He could outlast the Prince of Zhennan, split the power of his men, and remove the threat of heavy troops from the south, then let Xu Zifeng go back and become a wealthy and powerful prince.

It can also be considered as a consideration of the contribution of Prince Zhennan.

But who could have thought that the late emperor died before the Prince of Zhennan could even survive.

This not-so-bad mess was right in front of Li Chen. Prince Zhennan and Li Chen had no friendship, so he would have no concerns about rebelling.

Prince Zhennan had been preparing during this period, and happened to receive a secret letter from the third prince.

Just as various forces were preparing to turn the Tiance Dynasty upside down, what was Li Chen preparing for?

He had no preparation and had even gone to refresh the copy.
